"WOW No Quit in me captures exactly the thoughts, feelings and experiences I went through four years ago with the same cancer. I wish I could have read this to know what to expect. It would have been so helpful."

"No Quit in me" is an important resource for patients with newly diagnosed head and neck cancer. John's graphic story that details his cancer journey, pulling no punches as he describes the morbidity associated with chemotherapy and radiation. Despite the hardships he endured, John's story is an inspiration. I continue to recommend it to my patients and I write the blog/web site address on everyone's new patient booklet. Many of them have told me they have found it engaging and encouraging. A must-read for those about to embark on their own cancer journey "
